[RFC PATCH 2/2] selinux: fall back to ref-walk upon LSM_AUDIT_DATA_DENTRY too

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



commit bda0be7ad994 ("security: make inode_follow_link RCU-walk aware")
passed down the rcu flag to the SELinux AVC, but failed to adjust the
test in slow_avc_audit() to also return -ECHILD on LSM_AUDIT_DATA_DENTRY.
Previously, we only returned -ECHILD if generating an audit record with
LSM_AUDIT_DATA_INODE since this was only relevant from inode_permission.
Return -ECHILD on either LSM_AUDIT_DATA_INODE or LSM_AUDIT_DATA_DENTRY.
LSM_AUDIT_DATA_INODE only requires this handling due to the fact
that dump_common_audit_data() calls d_find_alias() and collects the
dname from the result if any.
Other cases that might require similar treatment in the future are
LSM_AUDIT_DATA_PATH and LSM_AUDIT_DATA_FILE if any hook that takes
a path or file is called under RCU-walk.
